Can't play the game; freezes on startup

[SadPanda]

I haven't seen that error again, but I am getting another when I log out and log back in that says: Access violation at address 0042D25A in module 'TurboVHelp.exe'. Read of address 00000000.

I don't have Comodo installed. I've just been using Windows Firewall and Antivirus, but I've turned those off while testing the game.

I've done everything you said, including uninstalling and reinstalling Amnesia, and it still didn't work. However, when I started it in windowed mode, I was getting a bunch of static and flashes across my entire screen, even outside the window. Then, when I took your main_setting file, the game went straight to the loading screen where it froze without any music.
